Patent EP-0371357-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PEDERSEN PER E
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1989-11-17
Abstract: A method of determining the reception time of a signal containing a predetermined code, e.g. a Barker code. The code may be present at the start of a telegram to be received by a mobile radio from a base station. 
     The signal is correlated with a corresponding code stored in memory. The correlation is carried out at different offsets in time. This gives a correlation curve (figure 2). The apex represents peak correlation. The timing of optimum correlation is determined by extrapolating the sides to the apex. 
     The invention also provides a zero crossing detector for timing zero crossing events whereby sufficiently accurate timing of receipt of the code is possible to enable meaningful correlation.

Abstract: Commercial cooking devices are disclosed wherein recirculating flow of heated air is created within a housing (12) in which a horizontally disposed food support and cooking member (70) is positioned. A plenum structure (74, 76, 78) converts some of the continuously recirculated air into a spaced series of laterally diffused, relatively high velocity heated air impingement jets that slightly overlap prior to striking the food support. In this manner, each food support surface subjected to jet impingement is evenly blanketed with heating air to uniformly transfer heat to the food support, and thus to the food supported thereby, at an accelerated rate. In a further embodiment, a dual tier pizza cooking oven (910) is formed from similar, but inverted lower (912) and upper (914) modules. The lower module (912) has a housing with a cooking chamber therein that is floor supported in an elevated position by supports (918), and includes a downwardly projecting fan and heating section (934) to recirculate heated air through the housing. The upper module (914) is stacked on top of the lower housing, and includes a fan and heating section (934a) that projects upwardly therefrom that recirculates a flow of heated air through its cooking chamber. Perforated metal food support plates (940, 940a) are horizontally disposed in each of the two cooking chambers. Plenum structures (948, 948a, 950, 950a) on opposite sides of the support plates in each of the two cooking chambers receive portions of the recirculated heated air and convert them to a series of heated air cooking jets that evenly blanket opposite sides of the support plates.

Abstract: An improved condensation process for preparing N-[4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphtha­lenylidene]methanamine from 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-­dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone and methylamine is disclosed. The process involves the use of a hydratable molecular sieve having a pore size that is at least about three Angstrom units in diameter as the dehydrating agent (catalyst) in a reaction-inert aprotic organic solvent. The ketimine final product so produced is known to be useful as an intermediate leading to  cis (1 S ) (4 S )-N-methyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-­1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine (sertraline), which is an anti-depressant agent.

Abstract: A boron carbide/titanium diboride composite ceramic powder is disclosed produced by mixing boron carbide and a titanium source, such that the average reactant particle size is less than 20 micrometers and substantially all discrete reactant areas are less than micrometers, followed by heating the mixture wherein the boron carbide particles form substrates to which the titanium diboride particles are attached. The resulting powder has boron carbide and titanium diboride particles less than 20 micrometers in diameter. This powder can then be densified to form a part wherein the titanium diboride grains have an average size of less than 20 micrometers and the boron carbide grains having an average size of less than 50 micrometers. Because of the uniformity of initial dispersion, the densified part shows a microstructure that is also very uniform in distribution of boron carbide and titanium diboride.

Abstract: An apparatus for slicing vegetables includes a stationary member holding stationary knives about the periphery of a rotating impeller hub. The hub has a hollow central opening for receiving vegetables. A plurality of circular tubular extensions having circular openings therein extending radially from the central opening in the impeller hub. Each circular opening has an impeller tube located therein. The impeller tube transports the vegetable outwardly by centrifugal force against the cutting knives. As the impeller hub rotates inside the stationary knife holding member the impeller tube simultaneously rotates upon the impeller hub such that each successive slice of the vegetable is at an angle, preferably 90 degrees, to the preceding slice. A bearing is located between the impeller tube and the impeller hub to allow this relative rotation. A pair of seals, one on each side of the bearing, prevents water and other contaminants from entering the bearing.

Abstract: The invention has the aim to personalize better the sounds of a siren or of any other emitter used as an anti-thief device. 
     Personalization is achieved by means of emissions of pure multi-tonal sounds which are periodically transformed by varying the frequency. 
     Other aims of the invention are the elimination of problems due to auditive adaptation and the difficulty of distin­guishing the origin of the sounds. 
     The enclosed circuit diagram represents an example of the realization of such an emitter; the diagram also permits the visualization of the sounds by means of an optic tran­sducer.

Abstract: A technique that performs both real time and online monitoring and fault diagnosis during the operation of mechanical equipment with at least one direct current motor. The method described includes the steps of selecting conditions of operation that correspond to acceptable equipment functioning, and monitoring these conditions continuously during the operation of the equipment. When a fault develops, the monitoring routine initiates a diagnosis subroutine which identifies the component causing the fault and establishes an error message to indicate the faulty component, prior to the initiation of equipment shutdown procedures.

Abstract: By using a real memory-backed demand paging virtual store as a work device in an external sort, then data movements and processing time are substantially less than that for processing the same external sort in either an internal (real) memory or DASD serving as the work device. Also, reblocking of generated partial sort strings during the sort phase and of the totally ordered string during the merge phase is avoided. The optimum ratio of internal (real) memory backing to the virtual store lies between 30-80 percent. Page faulting is reducible as a consequence of the fact that in the external sorting using the virtual store as a work device, a data element need only be referenced twice.
